Abstract
The panelists have all been part of organizations that have fully embraced hybrid or remote work, and some were leading that charge. The question is, how do we go back to work next week and start making real changes for the better? What does this mean for the office experience in the future, and how can we ensure equality between all employees, regardless of their location? What does the future hold for all of us in this industry?
